IKEA says it's investigating allegations made by a Swedish man that one of the company's products poses a danger.

After placing his grape-filled Blanda Blank bowl outside for a barbecue he was hosting, Richard Walter says he noticed an unfamiliar odor before realizing it was because his fruit was burning, according to AftonBladet.

The bowl's reflective stainless steel interior might have concentrated sunlight into one section of the bowl, raising it to scorching temperatures, the report suggested.

In an interview Walter said, “It's scary. Imagine if you have something you set in a sunny window, and then you have some curtains around.”

The Blanda Blank bowls, currently sold at IKEA Canada, don’t have any warnings that the bowls can cause burning, but a spokesperson for the company told Aftonbladet that they are investigating the matter.

“We take this information very seriously and will investigate what might have happened,” the spokesperson said.
